RubiconA Poem by Tim F*****g McCormack
I have traversed further rivers than this
Bridged mightier, I have come so far to reach the heart of Rome To cross the Rubicon But my feet grow tired here, and I wonder What if she shuts herself from me? Am I truly all I have dreamt, marble statued Memorialized for ages, Caesar I have come so far. I am Rome's son, Romulus rejoices in me but others, others see my frailties as well Ere Rome wore purple, none would adorn my shoulders. Rome has often rejoiced In her farmers, I know not of me, I have never fortified her walls What cause have I to believe that I Caesar may stand before this current and come forward from to claim her, for having spilt her blood with thrust. Romulus, what would have done, did you know killing your brother, crossing that line- Can I cross the Rubicon? © 2008 Tim F*****g McCormack |
